We asked our social media fans to send in their tips and photos of how they have been cooling off in the heatwave.
Mark Robinson commented: “Dowsed a dishcloth in cold water and wrapped around head… Heaven!”
Charlotte Audrey Gwennie Wheatcroft sent in a photo of balloons and said: “Waiting for the kids’ early finish from school, going to thrash ‘em with water bombs, lol.”
Pets hogging fans, a hot hen cooled with a damp towel and rabbits chilling out in a cellar were among our favourite submissions.
